BEIJING, May 1 -- A series of explosions has rocked Baghdad and Fallujah as insurgents targeted US and Iraqi forces in another day of bloody attacks. Saturday's blasts claimed at least 11 lives and injured dozens more.

    Baghdad - still reeling from Friday's onslaught that killed at least 50 - saw the worst of the carnage again on Saturday with five car bombings.

    In the eastern sector of the city, militants targeting a US convoy exploded a car bomb and killed two civilians.

    Separately, in the al-Qudat neighborhood in western Baghdad, militants struck at a US convoy with an improvised explosive device. But there were no casualties.

    The third incident was a car bomb in the al-Hamra neighborhood. The blast was outside a building for the National Dialogue Council, a Sunni political bloc. The bomb killed at least one security guard and injured 18 other Iraqis.

    A car bomb also exploded in Baghdad's eastern Zeiouna neighborhood, killing at least one civilian, Iraqi police said.

    Witnesses said the attack took place near a checkpoint manned by the Iraqi National Guard.

    Outside of Baghdad, militants fired mortar rounds into a Ba'ath residential neighborhood in Fallujah, killing a young girl and injuring nine adults, according to witnesses and hospital officials.

    Saturday's blasts were the latest in a series of attacks apparently aimed at undermining the country's new government, which takes office on Tuesday.
